But that doesn't work. The columns are labeled, "Depart", "Arrive", and "Return" and the site won't let you proceed without choosing both a depart date and a return date. If you choose the same day for depart and return, then one of two things happens:
1. If the "layover" is long it still shows up like a regular round trip and you get billed for two flights (like a regular round trip).
2. If the "layover" is short I get the error message, "The Reservation System is unable to price the flight you selected."

What am I missing?

[EDIT: ohhh, I see with certain city combinations you don't get the error message and, although it initially shows two halves of a RR like a regular round trip, when you go to pricing it changes to only one half.....suddenly this whole thread makes sense.]
